    Film noir’s darker themes and stylistic features enable it to address and explore the crux of the existential angst that humanity endures. Thus, the fifties are revived in Bryan Singer’s film, ‘The Usual Suspects’ by its translation of The Classic Questions into a modern context. In certain scenes of this film- ‘Redfoot-LA’, ‘Meeting Kobayashi’ and the ‘The greatest trick the devil ever pulled...’ most notably- the work’s central preoccupation is expressed with remarkable vividness. Through the investigation of how the downward spiral which permeates the criminal world isolates those within it, how the futile attempt to escape one’s past can lead to entrapment and how the exploration of truth highlights the ambiguous nature between reality and illusion in these scenes, Singer concludes with a refreshing perspective on human existence and society.…

    In 2003, the motion picture, Kill Bill Volume 1, debuted in theaters. Set to a backdrop of bloodshed and violence, the film offers 112 minutes of savagery, as the main character attempts to get back at every person who has wronged her in the past four years. Kill Bill is only one of the many films in which violence is the number one attraction. “Kill or be killed,” seems to be the overarching motto, as millions of moviegoers flock into theaters each weekend to watch as characters fight to the death. In contrast, violence portrayed on the silver screen is no longer acceptable outside of the theater. Groups such as “Black Lives Matter” protest the violence enacted against minorities at…

    Renowned as ‘the master of suspense’ Hitchcock achieves tension and suspense by taking innocent, ordinary characters and placing them in a situation beyond their control where a vulnerable victim is murdered. The combination of thriller with crime is illustrated through the use of several cinematic devices such as sound and lighting. Throughout the final scenes where Jefferies is confronted by Thorwald, the re-curing flash of the camera light bulb which dissolves into complete darkness heightens suspense and the anticipated thrill within Hitchcock’s respective audience, reflecting his subtle subversion of the genre to suit his purpose. The juxtaposition of silence and urgent whispering with the digetic booming sounds of Thorwald’s menacing footsteps forebodes the characterisation employed by Hitchcock to enable the establishment of a villain detective reflecting how the text engages with crime and its associated social and moral…

    Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo is a master's class in subtle and effective filmmaking - its noirish tale of obsession and loss is considered one of his best works. This is due in no small part to the directors' use of the various elements of film as a mirror. Hitchcock intends to create a sense of repetition and a cyclical nature to the life of the characters in the film; following Scottie (James Stewart) through his descent and ascent into madness deals significantly with themes of duality and obsession. Furthermore, the use of film as a mirror onto ourselves is made very clear in the audience's relation to Scottie throughout Vertigo. In this paper, three instances of the film as mirror will be detailed…

    The building of emotion, whether it is romantic love or deep hatred, can make a low-budget film into a blockbuster hit. Directors are constantly trying to build this deep feeling and emotion to make blockbuster hits. Alfred Hitchcock made hit films but instead, he built suspense – so much that it scared women from showering alone for years. Hitchcock’s appropriate label as the “Master of Suspense” came supremely out of his number one thriller, Psycho. His genius cinematic view shaped modern-day thrillers and horrors, and many of his techniques are still used today in such films. Hitchcock’s combined use of eerie sounds, high camera angles, creepy settings, and misleading tricks make Psycho one of the best (if not, the best) thriller ever made.…

    The exception to the midcentury dormancy of crime film was surpassed in the early 1950s, with the emergence of the British-born Hitchcock as the leading director of Hollywood crime movies. Though he departed from film noir, he borrowed extensively from it in both style and themes. More than any of his contemporaries he succeeded in incorporating aberration & Freudian psychology into his films well exemplified by Spellbound (1945)/ (1946) –the tale of a man whose troubled past surfaces with the help of an analyst; Rear Window (1954), North by Northwest (1959), Vertigo (1958). Hitchcock also made numerous noirish films centred on the psychology of crime (Rafter 29). Crime is one of the threads that united Hitchcock’s movies in the 1950s peak…
